Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is the work of an archaeologist whose explorations took place in Asia Minor, mainly in the area of modern-day Turkey. Pulling from a century-old tradition of Western archaeologists visiting the area to study and collect artifacts, the author specifically sought to thoroughly explore the area in search of monuments and inscriptions, detailing his findings and experiences over several years of dedicated exploration. The author's careful collection of local folklore and knowledge of the region allowed him to approach the subject with a nuanced and informed perspective. His careful methodological approach led to the discovery of an extensive range of formerly unknown monuments and inscriptions, many of which shed new light on the history and cultures of the region. The inscriptions are predominantly in Greek, but some are also in Latin, and reference such diverse ancient figures as the Persian king Darius, the Roman emperor Augustus, and the Christian bishop Abercius. Filled with primary source material and offering invaluable insight into the archaeology of Asia Minor, this book is a must-have for anyone interested in the ancient world or the history of archaeology.
